A Fluorescent Yellow finish accented by a shimmering prism-tape scale pattern provides high visibility for this 1/2 oz (14 g) casting spoon. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in length, the Krocodile Die #4, product code 1290, is constructed with a thicker profile to aid in distance casting from piers and jetties. The reverse side features the classic Luhr Jensen stamping from Hood River, Oregon, identifying its American heritage. A painted red eye with a black pupil sits near the top ring, while the tail is equipped with a standard treble hook. This specimen shows minimal surface markings on the paint, maintaining a clean appearance rated at 4/5. Anglers often rely on this specific design for trolling and casting in the Great Lakes, where its steady wobble is a known factor. The yellow coating extends to the back of the blade, where the metal stampings remain crisp and legible.
